The older lady at the front counter was extremely rude and unhelpful told me she didn't have time to help me on more than one occasion. However I received a phone call from Mark this evening and he went above and beyond to track down my missing mail out in the community and bring it to me

The older lady with long hair (blonde) and glasses was extremely rude. Horrible service. Very condescending attitude. I live in Smithfield and won’t be going there again.

The ladies in this post office could not have been nicer. We discussed what we needed to do and she kindly and patiently explained how we needed to make that happen. She suggested materials and sold us exactly what we needed. We then went to our vehicle and prepared our envelope and returned to process. A second lady took care of us, professionally and kindly and efficiently. Nothing but good things to say about this post office!

Never get my Sunday deliveries. And that's the one day I'm home. But my normal driver Mon-fri is great
